Decided to start working on the M1151A1. Replaced the fluids on the hubs and differentials. Had to clean the RF geared hub due to acumulated sand ( it came drained and no plugs) and also opened the rear differential as there was no drain plug present. Rear diff was clean. Installed new rims and...
Seats are regular from ebay or amazon. I will try to get a link and post. Rims are black rhino abrams 17" and tires are Toyo's 40's M/T. Not noisy at all for the kind of tire.
Edit: seats are from ebay, picture attached.
Installed a new soft top with now quarters given flag from William Welsh (blue ox) his work, as usual is outstanding. He will be re-stitching my previous top and does not want to charge me, even though i explain to him i beat the hell of my truck and use it everyday.
My 1st item took like 6 months years ago. After that 6 other items took 1 month the longest. And now i am waiting on another item and i am at 4 weeks and counting.
I once hsd a rim doing the same thing. It was so bad that it was scraping on the portal hub. Turned out the 2 faces were not seated and tighten correctly.
Went with 40's to reduce the 2" gap from the body lift between the wheels and fender lines. That part is taken care of only to look like a small farm tractor now. Have to test it for some days but 37's were better overall
On my last trip a couple of weeks ago, one of the AC hoses burned out with the exhaust and blew a hole. I took advantage of it to relocate the Red Dot AC condenser that was taking all my bed space. I am making all the lines new as the original ones are all cracked.
Of course i will, send me a PM with your email address, i will send it tomorrow when i get to the office.
I have not worked on the rear doors yet, just the front doors so far.
That's great. Sending you a pm with my email address. Thanks a lot.
I am working on a CAD file for aluminum doors, trying to cut them before the end of the year and if everything fits good i can share it as well.
Nice. Do you have CAD files or something like that that you might want to sale or share? Very interested in replicating with your permission of course. It looks outstanding. 👌
